Chapter 108: Choice
"Your Majesty was not an indulgent person in the first place, but now that he has many heirs, he is becoming less and less interested in the harem." Yun Fenghuang sighed with a complicated expression, to be honest, the emperor's attitude was actually very beneficial to her.
Otherwise, even if she prides herself on being a deep man, as she gets older, she really doesn't have the confidence to keep suppressing a wave of newcomers who are like flowers and jade.
"There was a princess Wei Su in the early years of this palace, and now there is another one, even if she is given the position of a virtuous concubine, Your Majesty is not careful, and the Khan is not at ease? If you want the Khan to be at ease, does Your Majesty still have to take time out of your life to go to Princess Linxingna Weisu? The concubine said, "Not to mention that this move will cause trouble to Your Majesty, let's just say that if Your Majesty pampers this Princess Wei Su, hehe...... The harem has finally calmed down, and maybe there will be waves again! ”
After all, she, the favorite concubine who has relied purely on the emperor's favor to this day, cannot tolerate the second favorite concubine in the palace!
Even if it's in name, it won't work!
Because Yun Fenghuang is now acting in the harem, to a large extent, it is the emperor's favor that is invincible.
Without the name of the favorite concubine, why should the outside world be submissive to her?
She didn't even mind Chunjia quietly sleeping with Princess Wei Su every day, but she couldn't spread it.
And Chun Jia is emotionally still quite concerned about Yun Fenghuang, even if he wants to express his tolerance to the current Wei Su Khan for political purposes, he doesn't want to wronged the concubine who has accompanied him for more than ten years; In terms of the overall situation, it is not a good thing for Yun Fenghuang to lose his status as a favorite concubine.
Because of the four princes raised under Yun Fenghuang's knees, the King of Qin and the Seven Princes are temporarily out, but the Nine Princes and the King of Jin still have the strength to compete.
The emperor has great expectations for these two sons, if something goes wrong with Yun Fenghuan, the middle palace that has had a grudge with Xuanqing Palace for many years, and other people who have offended the concubines for many years, how can they not fall into the ground?
And even if you don't consider Yun Fenghuan's mood, don't consider whether the emperor will be distressed, just consider Yun Fenghuan's temperament, and she has been favored for many years, but she has not done nothing......
At that time, the upcoming battle for the national capital will add more variables, no, even the royal heir may face great losses.
This is not a good thing for the dynasty.
After all, Wei Su's decline was caused by the two sons fighting for the throne after the old khan left. It hasn't been many years since this happened, and the monarchs and ministers are all witnesses, how can they not prevent their own family from repeating the mistakes of the past?
They worked hard to fight to the death before they crushed Wei Su.
is still in full swing calculating the candidates for the next generation of Wei Su's Khan, if at this time, his side causes royal losses because of a princess Wei Su, wouldn't it become a joke?
Therefore, the most convenient way is to choose a prince who has no chance to marry this foreign princess, and treat Wei Su with a few points of kindness on the scene, which can be regarded as a full dignity of Wei Su.
"Now it's not as good as before, when Rou Kun entered the palace, although Wei Su was already in chaos, but this person, under the guise of avenging his father, against his uncle, can be regarded as ambitious." Yun Fenghuang said to Chen Jing, "So at that time, we didn't have to give Wei Su too much face, and sometimes, we even needed to beat the hostages of Roukun and Yixi, so that Xi Fa'an could divide a little." lest they deceive me into the goodness of the heavenly dynasty and gain an inch! But right now, Wei Su's vitality is greatly damaged, and the new Khan, from his background to his own talents, is not enough to convince the public. It is all dependent on the support of the country and the dynasty to be able to inherit the throne. ”
"Such a situation has both advantages and disadvantages for the DPRK."
"The advantage is that the khan is powerless to resist the dynasty, and even has to think of a way to get closer to the dynasty and tie it tighter. After all, once the country and the dynasty change support, he will have no choice. ”
"This is also the reason why he is about to marry Xincheng, but he still wants to ask to marry a sister into the royal family."
"Xincheng is not a royal bloodline in the end, and the Khan naturally has to worry, even if he marries Xincheng, he will not be treated as his own by His Majesty."
"Marrying a sister to be the daughter-in-law of the Gongxiang clan, although many times it may not come in handy, so he has many reasons to comfort himself."
"The disadvantage is that after years of war, the two countries hate each other...... This palace doesn't say who is right and who is wrong, just now, what do you think Wei Li Shu, and many powerful people, think about our country's dynasty? ”
Chen Jing said cautiously: "The slave is brave, Wei Su must not know how to lift." ”
"That's it." Yun Fenghuang bowed slightly, "The dynasty seems to be merciful, but in their eyes, it is still as deep as the sea...... In fact, ordinary Li Shu's resentment is okay, the key is that the powerful will inevitably use such emotions to attack political opponents. The Khan is young, his background is not high, and he has nothing to rely on in the country, so he can sit in this position, and he is now holding Wei Su by relying on the dynasty...... But you have to know that this kind of elastic pressure can't last long. ”
"Wei Su is not a small country after all."
"It can't be like those vassal countries that we pinch and rub round."
"The dynasty cannot be annexed, nor can it be completely destroyed. Therefore, this thing cannot be done absolutely. ”
"Otherwise, it will provoke great changes in his country, and under the excitement of the masses, I am afraid that the Khan will not be able to escape death!"
"It's so messy, I can't say it, but it gives some people an opportunity to take advantage of......" Yun Fenghuang smiled coldly, "Isn't that how the fine enamel came out in the first place?" If it weren't for Mu E's life and death with Hele, Mu E was defeated, his wife and children fled in all directions, he didn't bother at all under Mu E's knees before, and he was also qualified to play the banner and claim to be an orthodox heir? ”
The concubine sighed lightly, "Wei Su has been ravaging the border passes of the national dynasty in the past, and even when the previous dynasty was weak, they once ravaged the Central Plains. With such a past, it is not the fault that the dynasty was beaten to the verge of extinction, otherwise he would never be willing to submit to the dynasty for a long time. Now the khan is elected by the national dynasty, and the great clan is married by the state, which is already very good. If you persecute too much, it will only backfire. Therefore, at this time, it is necessary to appease their people. ”
"Otherwise, maybe the country has been camping for many years, who is cheaper?"
Chen Jing was a little dazed when she heard it, and also sighed: "Niangniang is far-sighted, and the slave maid is beyond her reach...... is the queen of the middle palace, and she is the daughter of the Marquis of Longping in vain, so she must not be able to figure it out? ”
"It doesn't matter if she can figure it out or not." Yun Fenghuang didn't feel proud, "Gu Gaomen, she has elders, elders have staff, and what does the palace have?" In the future, the result is only based on the victory or defeat, and it is not simply a battle between this palace and her. If it's just this palace with her...... Does Hongu still need to worry about it like this? ”
She didn't look at the next step.
A few days later, Chunjia finally made a decision, which was the last thing that Xuanqing Palace expected, and Princess Wei Su gave it to the six princes.
Yun Fenghuang had already been mentally prepared, and when he heard the words, he just sighed, and he didn't even care about being sad and sad, so he was busy supervising King Jin's homework.
But Woxialou was quite surprised, and the queen even repeatedly confirmed with the palace people who reported the news: "It's Xiaoliu, not Bing'er?" ”
Seeing that the palace people were sure, Gu Zhen waved his hand to let him retreat, and he was a little complicated for a while.
Didn't you understand the three princes who were personally recommended by the concubine, and the emperor also recognized the news, why did he become the sixth prince in just a few days?
"Niangniang, two days ago, His Majesty frequently summoned two His Highnesses to the Awakening Hall under the pretext of taking the school homework, doesn't it have something to do with this?" reminded her left and right, "At that time, you were afraid that you would disturb the two highnesses Wen Shu and would not play well in front of the emperor, so you deliberately endured not summoning them, so you should be able to summon the two highnesses to inquire at this time, right?" ”
Also.
The queen then ordered someone to summon the two princes.
The temperament of the three princes and the six princes is actually very similar, or in other words, the temperament of the third prince, the sixth prince, and the seventh prince is very similar, gentle and elegant, like when Chunjia was not in power.
It was only after careful examination that I saw that there was a slight gap, and the elegance of the three princes was full of perseverance; The six princes are tranquil from the bottom of their hearts; The Seven Princes are the peace who grew up in spoiling.
In terms of appearance, the three princes and the seven princes are more like Chunjia, of course, the seventh prince is the one who is most like Chunjia among all the princes.
The outline of the six princes is more with the biological mother.
His biological mother Li was a palace concubine in Yunfeng Huang Palace earlier, and the sons of a good family from a poor family can enter the palace, not to mention their appearance, after all, this is their biggest reliance on entering the palace.
Therefore, this prince is actually not bad, but he didn't take good care of smallpox, and there were many marks on his face, which inevitably hindered the view.
Especially his brothers and sisters, most of them are outstanding, and in comparison, it seems that the six princes are particularly shocking.
Fortunately, this prince may have developed a modest and tranquil temperament because of his ill-fated fate, living in a simple and simple manner, not fighting or grabbing, living by himself, but there is no self-pity and self-pity.
It's a very worry-free child for the queen.
Even so, Gu Zhen actually doesn't have much affection for him, mainly because he didn't raise him by himself, and when it comes to the life experience of this prince, he still changed hands several times, especially from Concubine An, and it was forced by Yun Fenghuang at the beginning, and the queen had to adopt him...... Except for eating and drinking according to the rules, the queen didn't think much else.
At this moment, the child was decided by the emperor to marry Princess Wei Su, and the queen was a little annoyed.
I didn't expect the emperor to remember such a child......
Then would he know that this palace has been estranged and neglected by the Six Princes over the years?
All kinds of thoughts came to mind, and the queen settled down, and said slowly: "Do you know what your father just decided? ”
The third prince and the sixth prince glanced at each other, and the third prince said, "If you go back to your mother, but about Princess Wei Su's marriage?" On the way to the second brother, Erchen and the sixth brother listened to the palace people. ”
"Bengong remembers that this family affair was intended to be told to Bing'er before." The queen observed their expressions without blinking, "Why did you change to Xiaoliu at this time?" ”
The six princes were stunned, and subconsciously explained: "The queen mother, the sons and daughters have no ......"
"The queen mother, the sons and daughters don't really know very well." The third prince interrupted him and said, "In the past two days, my father has summoned his sons and sixth brothers many times, but when he went to Xingxin Hall, he was probably tested for some homework, and sometimes his father was busy, so he asked his sons and sixth brothers to wait outside. Just now, Erchen and the sixth brother were still reading together to prepare for their father to continue to summon him. ”
In other words, why the emperor changed his mind, they don't know.
Gu Zhen Wenyan looked at one of the chamberlains at the head of the house, and saw that he nodded slightly, indicating that the third prince was not lying, and he also wrinkled his brows, and secretly thought: "Yunfeng Huang's cheap maid is very good at bewitching the Son of Heaven, and over the years, there is almost no thing Your Majesty has not agreed to whatever she asks." In this family business, she said that her majesty was moved, why did she still change people? ”
She thought about it, sent away the six princes, and left the third prince to speak, "Bing'er, you really don't know anything?" ”
The third prince hesitated for a moment before he said softly: "Queen Mother, the son is at his father's place, and he really didn't hear anything except for being admitted to school. But Erchen went in and out of Xingxin Hall in the past two days, but he heard something by chance: his father intended to let Wei Su Khan relax, and he also hoped to resolve the enmity between the two countries to a certain extent, so when Princess Wei Su went out of the pavilion, he would send Uncle Yongchun and his eldest brother to greet him on his behalf! ”
The queen was stunned, this specification is extremely high.
After all, Xie Kuo, the princess of Xincheng, married and became a big clan, and the clan was just King Yi's kiss.
Of course, the empress vaguely heard that the emperor might assign one or two princes to send them off.
But this has not yet been determined, and it is King Yi who is determined...... For this reason, King Yi arrived in the imperial capital a year ago and has not returned to the vassal kingdom so far.
Chunjia now has two close brothers, and the eldest of the sons is only thirteen years old, which is barely usable, but the reputation and status are not as good as the two grown uncles.
In the past few years, those who have traveled around on behalf of the Son of Heaven to show his favor are all King Yi.
As the mother of a country, the status of the Da Yan clan is much higher than that of the princess.
And Wei Su is now weaker than the dynasty, it is said that when the princess Wei Su got married, let the Ministry of Rites send someone over to meet her according to the rules. In the status of the clan, the Marquis of Yongchun, who is second only to King Yi, and the eldest son King Qin went out to greet him together, which is quite graceful.
Think about the last princess Wei Su Roukun who entered the Gongxiang clan, she came with the mission, and there was no special treatment at all.
The queen froze and said, "What do you mean......?" ”
"The retainers speculated about the meaning of their father." The third prince said, "Since my father intends to use the courtesy to Princess Wei Su to calm the hearts of Wei Su, I am afraid that the prince who marries this princess will also be left in the imperial capital by his father, and he does not have to leave for the vassal country." ”
